About UPRN and UDPRN

UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number) is an authoritative code from Ordnance Survey that provides a unique identifier for every addressable location in Great Britain. UPRNs enable precise property identification and are essential for accurate address matching, reducing ambiguity in property records and improving data quality across government systems.

UDPRN (Unique Delivery Point Reference Number) is an authoritative code from Post Office Postal Address File (PAF) that provides a unique code for all letter boxes in the UK UDPRNs ensure that all letters are delivered to the correct address. Note that some properties only have one UDPRN, but may have multiple sub-divided properties.
